Cold Steel CS20KPL Kiridashi Lockback Folding Knife

Cold Steel CS20KPL Kiridashi Lockback Folding Knife, Black Handle

The Kiridashi is the original Japanese utility knife. Traditionally carried in the sleeve pocket of one's kimono by both Samurai and peasant alike. The Kiridashi is now used by practically everyone in Japan from children to master craftsmen! In many ways, it's the fixed blade equivalent of the western pocket knife. Because of its innate practicality, it's used for everything from whittling, carving, paring, and nearly every conceivable cutting chore.

Now Cold Steel has updated this famous classic utility knife by making a folding knife version! The Kiridashi folder offers a razor-sharp classically shaped blade made from 4034 stainless steel that's mated to a handsome, comfortable Griv-Ex grip that will never rot, crack, warp or mildew. To guard your fingers, it comes with the Tri-Ad Locking mechanism, proven time and time again to be the strongest, safest locking mechanism available. Light in weight, thin and handy, the Kiridashi is a joy to carry clipped to a pocket. And it's bargain-priced and a tremendous value to boot!
